India played much better against SA than Australia! And Aussies have similar conditions to SA and came early to practice Lol
Can't say it was background issues, aussies have been below par since 2nd test.
At least india gave a fightback and were in the game in every test.

We'll get pace allrounders only if we back Hardik and people see there is space for them in the team aka DEMAND!
Just like now we've got an abundance of pace bowlers, we'll get pace all rounders once we build that culture

Pandya should play every LOI game we need him to come good and he seems like a big occassion player. If he grows as a player and has a good 1-2 IPLs he will be a very handy player.
india's issue is relying on him too much where their primary bowler choices are weak or weak batsmen are picked. Thats why we need a settled middle order so he can do his thing.

One of the best T20 innings in Indian cricket history, maybe in all history.
I'll never question DK again unless he costs us a world cup of course. The man has earned his T20 spot, heck even ODI.
What a f*cking innings.

Just give saini a go he needs to play in england. Other than bumrah cant remember the last time indian selectors showed foresight.. Shami in 2013?
give young prospects a chance and back them. Under kohli saini could be a big threat to opposition i think.

Main thing is he got india to a win. Sri lanka bowlers were pumped up, india 4 down and away crowd cheering the sri lankans.
still he got india home. Pandey is a gutsy player dont mind him using a few t20s to get settled for odi games. Very useful player.
